Well Andrew, I certainly agree that there is no one so offensive as a Brit who is trying to be offensive. Luckily, for us on APUG your are a chap wrapped in warmth and charm.
No, Andrew I am not looking for a date.

I'm surprised that this hasn't been reported here yet (apologies if it has!). But Tim Rudman on the pure-silver mailing list has recently reported some good news from Ilford. They are apparently planning on developing a new range of products for B&W, plus a new website, training and a workshop programme. New products coming soon (less than 6 months) include a lith developer and a range of toners. Tim Rudman reports that other products are "under wraps". Ilford are apparently keen to encourage darkroom work and not just pick up the pieces from rival companies.
Sounds very encouraging indeed.
Cheers
Mike
As Dr. Tim is an enthusistic lith printer, perhaps a new paper emulsion designed for lith printing is on the agenda of future products. I`ve heard that there may be two new print developers to be introduced soon, one a cold tone developer and the other a warmtone developer.
A range of toners is of interest too.
Ian-you really think that Apx100 is T-grain technology? I don't think so. That film is about as old tech as it gets and I love it for that. Someone else care to comment on this?
Best, Peter

I think the only T-Grain films around are Delta, Tmax, and Acros. Although Fuji Acros calls it Sigma grain. Which I would assume is pretty similiar to t-grain with it's own characteristic.

I use Tmax100 @ 50 ISO and APX100 @ 100 as it's a true speed and they behave in a very similar manner, except for Agfa's stop higher speed. I used AP100 prior to that.
APX100 is the Agfa equivalent of Tgrain the differance is the ISO testing is more realistic as it's based on the Din method of testing film speed, which gives a true speed unlike the ASA method which tends to overstate the true speed.
APX25 (discontinued) and APX100 are T-grain equivalents however APX400 is not.
